<p>19 years ago I was involved in an accident that changed my life , two years later my beloved husband couldn’t handle my disability any more so he filed for a divorce, just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It’s been a daily struggle but I am strong now and I want to help people experiencing such challenges. </p>
